### Submitting Code Changes
1. Create a new branch for your changes:
```sh
git checkout -b your-branch-name
```
2. Make your changes. Ensure that your code follows the project's [coding style](https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/blob/main/rustfmt.toml) and passes all tests.
3. Commit your changes with a descriptive commit message:

git commit -m "feat: an awesome feature"
```
4. Push your changes to your fork:
```sh
git push origin your-branch-name
```
## Pull Request Process
1. Ensure your fork is up-to-date with the upstream repository:
```sh
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
```
2. Rebase your feature branch onto the main branch:
```sh
git checkout your-branch-name
git rebase main
```
3. Create a pull request to the `main` branch of the upstream repository. Follow the pull request template and ensure that:
- Your code passes all tests and lints.
- Your pull request description clearly explains the changes and why they are needed.
4. Address any review comments. Make sure to push updates to the same branch on your fork.
